First, add the feet and inches separately: 2 ft + 1 ft + 2 ft = 5 ft and 7 in. + 11 in. + 8 in. = 26 in. Since 12 inches make a foot, 26 inches is 2 feet and 2 inches. Adding these 2 feet to the initial 5 feet gives 7 feet. Since 3 feet make a yard, 7 feet is 2 yards and 1 foot, with the remaining 2 inches. Therefore, the answer is 2 yd 1 ft 2 in.
